It was getting dark when Song Yi knocked on the door of the village head's house. It was the middle of the night and the village head was still awake, but her daughter and granddaughter were sleeping like pigs.

It was not safe to ask the boy to open the door, so the headman got out of bed, put on his shoes, walked to the door and asked.

"who is it?"

"Grandma Jun, it's me, Song Yi."

When the village head heard this, he quickly opened the door, fearing that something might have happened in his family again.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Song Yi said in a low voice.

"Grandma Jun, my family's Fudan hunted some prey, and my grandfather asked me to send you some. Don't worry, nothing happened to my family."

Song Jun felt relieved when she heard that. As long as she was okay, it was not easy for her to make the trip with her old limbs.

After putting the meat in her hand, Song Yi turned around and left quickly. She was worried about being without a woman at home at night.

Song Jun took the meat and went home. Not only was she very happy, she also exclaimed that this Sister Yi was much more capable than her Sister Ye.

"It's so late, who is it?"

Song Jun's husband asked.

"Yes, Sister Yi, go and lock up the meat, don't let that yellow-skinned guy drag it away."

It was invisible at that time as it was very dark. In the morning, Song Jun smiled even more happily. Her family couldn't bear to eat the venison, so they sold it. They earned five taels of silver from one pound of venison, and became rich overnight.

Before daybreak, Song Yi carried the meat to the restaurant in the town. Song Zhining was there too. She was woken up by her wicked daughter before she even woke up.

"Tell me honestly, was this meat really caught by Fudan?"

"Mom, let me tell you, Fudan is not a dog, but a little female wolf. Look at its current size, it is more than three times bigger than those dogs."

"What? Fudan is a wolf? No, we have to send it away immediately. It's too dangerous. We can't keep it at home."

She still remembered clearly that none of the wild wolves were good.

"Mom, Fudan is not in danger, and he can protect my sister at home. You don't know that Fudan is very good at guarding Sister Yu. Besides, when I'm at home, as long as I'm not there, I will immediately take Fudan away and not let him get close to my sister."

"is this okay?"

"It's ok, but don't tell grandma!"

"Okay! I know. Sell the meat quickly and go back. I'm worried every time you come out. When Sister Yu is older, you can go out and find a job."

The restaurant owner was a middle-aged man. When he saw that Song Yi was carrying venison, his eyes lit up.

"One?"

"No, only half."

The boss felt a little sorry, but he was very polite and welcomed them to the backyard. The store wasn't open yet, so there weren't many people around.

"Look at the price..."

"No more words, eighty taels of silver, if you want it, just take it. If you don't want us to change restaurants, please go."

Song Zhining quoted a price. She was very careful in her calculations. The venison weighed at least 20 jin, so 80 taels was a bargain for her. The price was 5 taels per jin, but she only charged 4 taels.

The boss immediately smiled.

"Okay, wait, I'll get you some money."

After watching the boss leave, Song Yi looked around the backyard. Not only were the ingredients piled up like mountains, but there were also some vegetables she had never seen before.

The boss has gotten up to work, so how can the waiters be lazy?

The waiters and odd jobs got up one after another to work. Song Yi followed Song Zhining and stood aside for a while.

But at this time, Zhang Xing, who came to work, saw Song Yi with his sharp eyes.

He couldn't stop feeling excited. After being sold by his father, he and his elder brother had been living a miserable life.

If they don't work, they won't have food to eat. The boss didn't dare to beat or scold them, considering that his mother was going to take the imperial examination. But he knew that this would be short-lived.

"Sister Song Yi."

His voice was a little loud and he was afraid Song Yi couldn't hear it.

Song Yi looked up and didn't recognize him. It was not her fault that she didn't recognize him. When Ma Taoguo got married, her children had never had any contact with the Song family.

Song Zhining frowned. This was a boy, and he called her "Yi Jie'er" so loudly, as if he was afraid that others didn't know.

"you are?"

"I'm your cousin! My father and your father are brothers. My name is Zhang Xing."

He spoke in a somewhat gentle tone, lowering his head at a particularly good angle, and he seemed to be a little shy and a little admiring.

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned Ma Taoguo, but now that she had mentioned him, she felt terrible. What kind of person was he? A hooligans, a deadbeat, a guy like this, his face was thicker than the wall.

"I don't know you. Who knows if your father and my father are brothers? And I have never seen you since I was a child. Are you trying to establish a relationship with me?"

Even if it was, Song Yi would never admit it today. Although he didn't know what his purpose was, but thinking about his father, he estimated that this guy was not a good person.

Zhang Xing had no idea about the incident that Ma Taozhiguo had caused at the Song family. Now he just stood there in a daze with a confused look on his face.

Song Zhining also nodded. She didn’t know this guy either, and the last time she met Ma Taoguo was decades ago, so how could she recognize him?

When she saw the shopkeeper coming, Song Zhining took the money in her hand and weighed it. She knew whether the money was enough without even counting it.

The shopkeeper also admired her. Although being a blacksmith was a bit of a waste of her talent, she could still make money!

"Okay, we have enough money, so we can go."

"Okay, if you have this kind of good stuff in the future, remember to come to our Zuixianju!"

"Okay! Then we'll take our leave."

Seeing Song Yi and Song Zhining leaving, Zhang Xing became a little anxious. He didn't want to stay in this place anymore. The work he did every day was dirty and tiring. Not only did he not have enough to eat, but he also had to endure other people's contempt.

"Mrs. Song, I am your husband's nephew. You can ask my uncle when you go back. It's rare for us to meet today. How about I treat you to a meal?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ju jumped out from somewhere and said something sarcastically.

"Zhang Xing, do you have money? Ah? You're treating others to a meal, but you don't even realize what our status is now. Why don't you just take out the trash? You're leaving me to do all the work in the backyard. How can you be so selfish?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Xing stood by the yard with an embarrassed look on her face. The shopkeeper did not say anything, but she just watched with interest.

"Come on, Sister Yi, go home quickly. It's better not to bother with these strangers."

Song Zhining looked at Zhang Xing with a gloomy expression, but she did not miss the hint of calculation in his eyes.

"I understand, mother."

The two of them just left in such a swagger. Zhang Xing was really disappointed with Zhang Ju. If they wanted to live a good life and didn't find a way themselves, they would have to bear the consequences!

Moreover, he knew that his mother would never pass the imperial examination to become a scholar, and that a miserable life awaited them, and they would still be treated as slaves.

He was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to be someone else's main wife in the future. Thinking of such an ending, he shook his head. No, he didn't want to live that kind of life.

Zhang Ju looked at his changing face and wondered if his brother was possessed by a demon, so he immediately slapped Zhang Xing in the face.

After seeing Zhang Xing recover, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was possessed by a demon.

"Why don't you just go and do your work? What are you doing blocking the backyard?"

The manager came to work and bowed when she saw the boss was there.

After the boss left, she put away her flattering smile and her face turned stern.

"Okay, let's all go and do some work! Those who don't do anything won't have any food to eat."
